The hazard: Strangulation, entrapment or suffocation hazard

The hazard in this recall is entrapment or strangulation, the category behind most nursery-product fatalities, and one that gives no audible warning.

What the notice says: The recalled gates violate the mandatory standard for expansion gates and expandable enclosures because a child's torso can fit through the opening between the gate and the floor, becoming entrapped, posing a risk of serious injury or death.

Why it matters: A cord, gap, strap or soft surface on this product can trap a child or restrict their breathing. These incidents are silent: there is no noise to bring an adult in from the next room.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If a child is found trapped or unresponsive, free them if you safely can, call 911, and start CPR if they are not breathing. Even after an apparently full recovery, a child who lost consciousness or had their airway blocked needs to be assessed the same day, because swelling and lung injury can develop afterwards.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves BabyBond-branded retractable safety gates. The recalled safety gates were sold in black, gray and white and have a metal frame. They measure about 33 inches high with an adjustable width up to 55 inches. "Retractable Safety Gate" and model number "SH20.006DB" are printed on a white label stitched to the mesh fabric on the side of the gate.

What to do about Strangulation

Infant Innovations — The hazard in this recall is entrapment or strangulation, the category behind most nursery-product fatalities, and one that gives no audible warning.

  1. Stop using the product immediately and move it out of the room where the child sleeps or plays.
  2. Claim the remedy on this page, photographing the model and date code first — the claim form will ask for both.
  3. For sleep products, put the baby down on a firm, flat surface with nothing else in it — a crib, bassinet or play yard meeting current federal standards.
  4. Do not resell, donate or hand it on. Passing on a recalled nursery item is illegal in the United States and is the main way these products stay in circulation.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • If you bought it from a retailer rather than the brand, try both. Target, Walmart and Amazon often refund recalled goods from the order history.
  • If the company stops responding, escalate to the CPSC. Firms under a recall order have reporting duties to the agency.
  • Have the model number, the date code and your photos ready. Many companies issue store credit by default — ask for cash or a card reversal if you would rather have it.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled gates and contact Infant Innovations at [email protected] for instructions to return the gates to any Target store for a full refund.

Company contact: Infant Innovations at 844-406-3569 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or by email at [email protected].
